Please sign up by contacting Phil . For students who take JC for credit, please talk to me about your paper selection at least a week (preferably more) in advance.
Some suggestions:
Presentations should be 20 min long, leaving 10 min for discussions. A good rule of thumb is 2 minutes per (content-filled) overhead.
For students (not just those taking it for credit), please talk to your advisor and/or advising committee about the paper selection. Encourage them to come to your talk and give you feedback.
Please select your paper carefully. Consult a local expert if you are unsure about the quality of the paper. Don't limit yourself to the most recent posting.
Please send the paper title, authors, and the link to the paper by the Monday before your scheduled time.
